Coronation Street to finally revisit Cassie's disappearance story

Coronation Street is set to revisit the story of a character who has not been seen for some time.

Cassie Plummer was last seen by viewers of the ITV serial drama in August, following a run-in with Tyrone's evil dad Ross. Now, a new ITV promo release has revealed that Coronation Street will mention the character again during a conversation between Ross and Tyrone's wife Fiz in upcoming episodes.

The Underworld machinist has been suspicious of Ross's behaviour over the last several weeks, and she is determined to expose her father-in-law as a bully.

Fiz makes a breakthrough after she discovers Cassie’s passport in Ross’s car. Viewers will remember Cassie getting into Ross’s car when she was last seen on screen.

After finding Cassie's passport, Fiz starts grilling Ross, who thought he had successfully disposed of anything connected to her.

Prior to Fiz's discovery, Ross gave the family the impression that Cassie was enjoying her life somewhere, but is there something very sinister at play?

The promo also shows that Kit Green will soon begin to question whether he should confess to his partner Sarah, after his one-night stand with her daughter Bethany led to her pregnancy. Bethany begs Kit to stay quiet, but will he?

Prison officer Ross was introduced to Corrie viewers when he bumped into Cassie at the hotel in July.

It was revealed that he paid her for sex when she was fifteen, with the encounter resulting in the birth of Tyrone.

When Cassie noticed Ross began to form a bond with his son, she tried to make him fail a drugs test, but she accidentally gave a codeine overdose to arch-nemesis Tracy Barlow instead.

That had devastating ramifications for Cassie, as Tyrone kicked her out of the house and upended their relationship, as well as that with her now-ex, Steve McDonald. As Cassie took a job on a cruise ship, she was last seen on her way to the station when she got in a car with Ross.

Cassie is played by former Brookside star Claire Sweeney, who made her Corrie debut in June 2023. Her co-star Fiz, played by Jennie McAlpine, wants to see Cassie return to Weatherfield.

"Claire was great to work with," she told Digital Spy at Inside Soap. "We’d absolutely love to see her back on Corrie, but who knows what the writers have decided?"

Away from the cobbles, Sweeney is set to appear on the new series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!. McAlpine appeared on the show in 2017 and finished fourth, while Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone, took part in the 2024 season and finished in sixth place.

Sweeney is part of a cast that includes Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page and football legend Wayne Rooney.

Fans will not have to wait long for the new series to commence, as I'm A Celeb confirmed it'll start airing on Monday 16 November.

A day prior, fans will be able to watch I'm a Celebrity: How to Survive the Jungle, a one-off special serving as a guide to celebrities on how to face the various trials and challenges of the jungle.

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
